Responsibilities:
Roles & Responsibilities
Platform Optimization & Org Health
-
Hunt down technical debt — dead automations, bloated triggers, redundant fields, and queries that scan half the database for one record.
-
Audit and rationalize automations into a single, sane framework. No more “which of the five automations on this object actually fires first?” mysteries.
-
Monitor org health proactively — governor limits, storage, API consumption, deployment stability — using Salesforce Optimizer, Event Monitoring, and custom dashboards you build yourself.
Development & Code Quality
-
Build production-grade Apex — bulkified, governor-limit-aware, single-trigger-per-object, with proper separation of concerns (service/selector/domain layers).
-
Develop Lightning Web Components that are reusable, accessible
-
Hold the quality bar in code reviews — meaningful test assertions (not just coverage farming), no hardcoded IDs, clean error handling, sensible naming.
-
Own and improve the CI/CD pipeline — scratch orgs, source-driven development, automated test gates, and deployments that don’t need a war room.
Integration & Data Management
-
Design and maintain integrations via REST/SOAP APIs, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture — with proper retry logic, error handling, and idempotency.
-
Champion data quality — deduplication strategies, validation rules that actually help, and migration practices that don’t create a cleanup project of their own.
-
Troubleshoot sync failures and API limit issues across connected systems before they become someone’s escalation.
Collaboration & Best Practices Enablement
-
Define and document development standards and best practices — then make sure the team actually follows them.
-
Mentor junior developers through pairing, reviews, and knowledge sharing — not lectures.
-
Evaluate every Salesforce release (three per year) for features worth adopting and deprecations worth addressing.
-
Help the team make smart clicks-vs-code decisions so the org stays maintainable as it grows.
Qualifications:
Core Technical Skills — Must Have
-
Deep hands-on skills in Apex, SOQL/SOSL, LWC, and enough Visualforce knowledge to maintain legacy components.
-
Strong JavaScript/ES6+, HTML, and CSS fundamentals.
-
Expertise in Salesforce’s security architecture — profiles, permission sets, sharing rules, FLS, OWDs, role hierarchy.
-
Solid Git workflow habits — branching, pull requests, merge conflict resolution.
-
Proficiency with Salesforce CLI, scratch orgs, metadata API, and at least one CI/CD tool (GitHub Actions, Copado, Gearset).
-
Sharp debugging instincts — Debug Logs, Query Plan tool, Limit monitoring, and the patience to trace a bug through five layers of automation.
-
Familiarity with data migration/ETL tools — Data Loader, Dataloader.io, or equivalent.
-
Comfortable in Agile/Scrum rhythms without needing a ceremony for every decision.
Good to have AI Exposure
-
Understanding of AI/ML fundamentals — supervised vs unsupervised learning, model training, evaluation metrics, and data pipelines.
-
Exposure to Large Language Models (LLMs) — prompt engineering, fine-tuning concepts, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and API-based integrations.
-
Familiarity with generative AI use cases in enterprise contexts — summarization, classification, content generation, conversational bots, and intelligent search.
-
Experience using AI-assisted development tools for code generation, test scaffolding, or automated code review.
-
Basic comfort with Python or similar languages for scripting AI/ML workflows, data wrangling, or prototyping.
-
Awareness of responsible AI principles — bias, explainability, data privacy, and governance considerations.
Qualifications
-
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
-
5–9 years of hands-on Salesforce platform development — cloud-agnostic, problem-first.
-
Active Salesforce certifications preferred — Platform Developer I/II, Application Architect, System Architect, or any specialist certification.
-
Clear communicator who can explain a complex technical tradeoff to a business stakeholder without their eyes glazing over.
